[Asis-standards] More ISO votes

[Mark Needleman-UF]

Folks

 

There are a few ISO votes coming up (and a few more due later which I will
send out in a message at a later date so as not to overwhelm folks)

 

The ones coming up are

 

Proposed New Work Item: Standardization of U.S. Profile of ISO 3166

 

This proposal is to transition the GENC Standard from a U.S. Government
standard for country codes to a U.S. National standard for country codes.
The GENC Standard is a ‘profile’ of the ISO 3166 Standard. This would
include defining a process for the creation and ongoing maintenance of said
standard to address the requirements of all stakeholders, including industry
and academic users. Adoption of such a profile will ease technical
communications between industry and the federal government in the
transmission of country-related data. 

Following Draft Standard review and subsequent NISO Voting Member ballot, if
approved, a Maintenance Agency or Standing Committee will be appointed for
future review and maintenance of the Standard.

 

Comments and suggestion for a vote due 2/4/2014

 


2) Appointment of Mr Peeter Päll as Convenor TC46/WG3 "Conversion of written
languages"


Mr. Päll was the only nominee from the previous call for nominations for
this Working Group. Information on his background is provided in the
document N2459, which is included as a reference document with this ballot.

The WG is responsible for about a dozen standards related to transliteration
or romanization of various languages. The relevant standards are listed on
the original call for nominations (N2453), which is one of the reference
documents supplied with this ballot.

3)  ISO/DTS 28560-4, Information and documentation — RFID in libraries —
Part 4: Encoding of RFID data elements based on rules from ISO/IEC 15962 in
an RFID tag with partitioned memory


 

This part of ISO 28560 defines encoding rules for those libraries that
choose to use UHF RFID technology operating at 860 MHz to 960 MHz, with the
interrogators (readers) set to conform to local radio regulations that
specify only part of this spectrum. The UHF tags can function efficiently in
any of the radio regulated regions. This part of ISO 28560 uses encoding
rules that are specified in ISO/IEC 15962, as does ISO 28560-2. Some of the
encoding rules are different because of the nature of the different RFID
technology, but a number of rules are similar if not identical.

This document is being issued in the Technical Specification series of
publications as a “prospective standard for provisional application” in the
field of RFID for libraries using UHF technology, because there is an urgent
need for guidance on how standards in this field should be used to meet an
identified need. A review of this Technical Specification will be carried
out not later than 3 years after its publication with the options of:
extension for another 3 years; conversion into an International Standard; or
withdrawal. 

Because technical specifications do not have as many draft approval levels
as standards, if this draft receives sufficient approval and doesn't require
any substantive changes (as a result of comments), it could proceed directly
to publication.
